For the second year in a row, the organizers of the Northern Wave Film Festival have asked gogoyoko to nominate the best Icelandic music video of the year. Last year saw Berndsen’s Young Boy take the price, directed by Helgi Jóhannsson. Heading the panel last year was none other than french director Romain Gavras, best known for his music video work for M.I.A. and Justice. This year, the panel of judges will be headed by cinematographer Isabelle Razavet. The festival will take place in the beautiful town of Grundarfjörður, Iceland, March 4th-6th.
